Yesterday I was speaking with a friend and began to tell a story of an email I’d received from someone. \u00a0The writer was quoting inaccurate source materials, that is, she was complaining\u00a0yet talking about something she had no experience of<\/a>, as she was just repeating what other writers said. \u00a0When I mentioned the phrase “the conservative media,” my friend on the phone launched into asking me who I considered the conservative media and that segued into him telling me his thoughts on how the liberal media spreads misinformation. \u00a0He stated unequivocially that there’s no evidence anywhere that Fox News ever lied about anything<\/em>. \u00a0 He believes the liberal media spreads more mis-info; I believe the conservative media does. \u00a0It doesn’t matter who’s right, if we’re on this topic, it isn’t helping us achieve a happy life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Afterward, I Googled to find just one example and found Top Fox News Executive Admits Lying On-Air About Obama<\/a>, boasting that he lied repeatedly \u00a0on-air. \u00a0Even if a story is true<\/em>, if the story is critical or complaining, telling it is not helping your c<\/em>ase. Telling it isn’t bringing you peace of mind. \u00a0Telling it isn’t helping you attract the income and life you’re entitled to. \u00a0 Telling it is preventing you from attracting opportunities to yourself.<\/p>\n

So tell that story, debate that point with friends, get pissed off and think the government is bringing the country down and going to hell in a handbasket. But keep that info to yourself and let me live in my happy world where none of that matters. \u00a0If God wants me to have a happy life, Man isn’t going to stop that from happening. \u00a0If Man lets a thousand man-eating tigers loose in my neighborhood, if it’s God’s will — and my expectation and belief — the whole incident can pass without me ever being aware of it. \u00a0That happens all the time with disaster striking just inches away from where survivors stand. \u00a0Don’t tell me to expect the worst when I know what’s possible.<\/p>\n

And it’s not just possible in this situation, it’s not just possible that I can avoid a man eating tiger, it’s not just possible that I can thrive despite whatever the government is doing or not doing. \u00a0It’s possible I can attract a happy and fulfilling life despite anything that is going on around me. \u00a0I’ve seen it happen far too often to not believe it.<\/p>\n

What I’m most surprised at is him believing that anything man says or does can have more sway over how his life unfolds than whatever plan God has for \u00a0him. \u00a0 As long as he believes that, he is living in a very small world. \u00a0A friend said it well, “If you identify with your body, then you are controlled. If you identify with your source, then you are in control. \u00a0When you know you’re more than all this and eternal, then you have no government.”<\/p>\n

Tell me what you think after you are able to attract a life you like, a job you love and the income you want. \u00a0Do it THEN tell me about it.<\/p>\n
